If you are as excited as I am about the upcoming Major League Baseball season, then you know the Miami Marlins are only weeks away from the start of Spring Training down in Jupiter, Florida. And for the first time in the Derek Jeter era here in the Sunshine State, there is a real belief these Marlins will surprise some folks, regardless of whether this team makes the playoffs or not.
After 64 and 57 wins in the past two seasons, just getting to the 70-75 win plateau is a true reason to celebrate. The Marlins have worked this offseason to add players instead of subtracting prospects and veterans as they have done in years past.
